hi,
i have question for people who deal with property buying and selling. i am selling a property and the homebuyer survey has showen that the downstairs chimney has been removed but it is still in place on the first floor. i have been asked to get it checked to see if it is structually spported.
can someone please advice on how i go about doing this. i can either get a surveyor to have a look at it or a structual engineer. i don't understand what the difference is between the two and how would be more useful for my situation.
i think i have read elseware on the forum that i can get a structural engineer in and have the chimney inspected.
thanks for your help in advance
